BEDFORD, Ohio (WJW) – Bedford police report they found an 8-year-old girl safe and shopping, after they said she took a car and drove on busy roads to Target.

On Sunday morning, police took a call for the missing child. As they began to investigate, police also took a call “concerning a small child driving east on Rockside Road.” … Officers eventually found the car in the parking lot of a Target store in Bainbridge. Police then found the child in the store.

Although the exact route the child took is not clear, Google Maps shows the store is more than 10 miles from where the child was reported missing and about a 20-25 minute drive. … She told officers during her travels she “struck a mailbox.”

5. My father made me drive across Saudi Arabia while he slept.

I was eight or nine. I drove in Africa, India — everywhere. Whole family asleep, nine year old driving across the Khyber Pass highway at night.

Yes he was crazy. Yes I’m an excellent driver.

6. Figures!

I've always said those online driving games and shooting games should be banned.
